EuroCheapo review print this page

From the sleepy street just off Plaka's main tourist path, Hotel Dioskouros's art deco railings, doors and ample greenery are welcoming. The hotel tends to host university-age guests and young families. It's a step above a backpacker crowd, although the hotel does have a dormitory room on the property.

Simple and unadorned, Dioskouros's 17 rooms set up shop in a rambling building that feels more like a retrofitted mansion than a purpose-built hotel. All rooms share bathroom facilities, though they have their own sinks. Décor is not the guiding principle here, though rooms feature all sorts of charming little touches like the simplicity of the blue window frame trim and seemingly random furniture combinations.

Families and larger groups should note that Dioskouros has a large basement suite with both bunkbeds and conventional beds. In the off-season, Dioskouros opens its doors to long-term guests and offers rooms on a very affordable monthly basis.

About the Hotel Dioskouros neighborhood

Plaka is the heart of tourist Athens. Its dense, atmospheric alleys are packed with tavernas, tourist traps, and gorgeous ancient structures. Adrianou is the main strip, but the highly touristed nature of Plaka permeates most corners of the neighborhood. While its main characteristic is its tourist-oriented nature, those committed to hunting around will find a comfortable few blocks of stylish cafés, specialty shops, and government buildings tucked in between the tourist shops, churches, and ancient sites. Plaka is closest to the Syntagma metro station, which is located beneath Syntagma Square.
